Hollie’s Facebook post of the incident – which has gone on to be shared more than 3,500 times – said: “Today I witnessed a lorry badly hit around 10 to 15 cars and drag 2 cars down the road on North Drive in Ruislip.

“The driver failed to leave any of his details and drove off, I’ve been to Ruislip police and was told they cannot do anything nor did they want any picture evidence.

“If your car was hit, below is the evidence of the lorry along with a few cars which were involved.”

Emma Goodey replied to the post, writing: “This happened to me and I really wish someone had been there to do what you did. I had to pay for £700 worth of damage because they didn’t have the decency to stop.”

Jessica Hatton added: “Omg that is terrible! Well done Holly I hope this gets resolved and the owners of those vehicles get all the help they need!”

A spokesman for Hampshire Insulation apologised for the damage and any inconvenience caused

Hollie says four people have come forward to say their car was damaged in the carnage.

The lorry in question belongs to Hampshire Insulation.

Andy Ayres, a director at the company told Sun Online: “We received a call yesterday from a gentleman who said his daughter’s car had been damaged.

“We instantly apologised and called the police to let them know.

“Our driver now has to fill out a police form and it will go from there.

“I would like to apologise to anyone affected or any inconvenience caused.

“It is now a matter to be dealt with by the police and our insurance company.”

A Met police spokesman said: “We are aware of pictures being shared on social media which appear to show a lorry causing damage to a number of stationery vehicles in North Drive, Ruislip, on Monday 16 January.

“We take all allegations of crime seriously and in this instance a report was not taken as it should have been due to a miscommunication. We have since made contact with the informant to apologise and obtain further details.

“Officers have visited the scene to assess the damage caused and enquiries continue. There have been no arrests at this stage.

“We would always encourage members of the public to report such incidents and where possible provide evidential material, including images, if it can be obtained without putting anyone at risk.”
